The Zambia Police Service has warned of legal action against individuals found creating and distributing deceptive artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content targeting senior public officers.

Police Public Relations Officer Godfrey Chilabi said the misuse of AI technology to fabricate digital content depicting acts of violence and offensive material directed at senior officials poses risks to public confidence, safety, and national security.

“Appropriate and decisive legal action will be taken against any individual found to have created, distributed, or shared material intended to mislead the public, cause alarm, or otherwise violate the law,” Chilabi stated.

He added that police, working with other law enforcement agencies, have intensified investigations into the creation and circulation of such content. Members of the public have been urged to exercise caution and responsibility when creating or sharing information on digital platforms.
